Calazo Kilpisjärvi Guide Book

All text in the book is in Finnish. Kilpisjärvi beats to the rhythm of arctic nature and draws thousands of hikers each year on treks and day hikes. Saana, Malla, Halti, who could resist their call?

The book gives a detailed account of the region’s many day-trip destinations, the Kilpisjärvi–Halti trekking route with its alternatives running through Norway, as well as the Three Country trek. By scanning the QR code on the route map, you get a map on your phone that you can navigate with and that shows your location. The book also offers background on the intriguing history of the Käsivarsi region, arctic nature and nature tourism. It guides the hiker in gearing up and preparing for the conditions and surprises of the rugged fell landscape, and in turning their gaze to the wealth of flowers thriving among the rocks.

Laura Hakulinen is a hiker, outdoor journalist and nature lover who has explored the Kilpisjärvi region for seven years. Wilderness treks and the rare plants and birds of the fells are close to her heart.
